one season they will abandon the next,
and nothing that is old, from a bonnet to
a carpet, finds favor in their eyes. There IS
the banjo. Three years ago every other
girl in the country had one strung by yell
low ribbon around her neck, and was
drumming the strings and singing darkey
melodies with all her might and main.
Most of them never learned to play at
all; they took a lesson or two, learned the
scales and fragments of about three tunes,
and then it lanSuished until they would
read 10 the London papers OF how Natica
Yznaga saved dull evening and delighted
the Prince of Wales by throwing herself
into the breach with her banjo, u then
the Young women took to earnest study
again for about three weeks. Bat it has
gone to almost hopeless limbo at last, be-
yond revival. It's successor Is q mando'
lin.
The mandolin is melon shaped, aud has
eight strings, or rather four couples, aud Is
tuned in fifths. The music is made By
sweeping these strings with q bit of shell
held between the thumb aud two first fin
gers of the right hand. 1t requires an ex-
quisite lightness and smoothness of touch
and a firm, supple wrist to brush the
str;nos en- that the music will be both soft
and even. but when it is well played the
music is charming, and it is an instrument
with far greater capacity than the banjo,
With the reign of the mandolin has CONS
o fancy for folk-soDgs and mus, and the
airs the NeapOliton fishers and Venitian
gondoliers are fond of are heard in New
York drawing rooms, or the Wild, half
horhor;a therss of the SDanish GypSies.

The most astonishing idiocy that New
York women have lately developed is the
single eyeglass. No one has ever been able
to discover Why the Eaglishman originally
adopted the mOnocle. Its use by oar own
snobs is, of course, explicable on the
ground of its English origin. The sex
might certainly have been expected to es-
cape an affectation that is neither orna-
mental nor useful, and that has the addi-
tional drawback OF inconvenience. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that this craze will
strike Wheeling, and it is not probable
that it will.

Obituary..

WING.-Died, at Glens Falls, n. Y, June
81, Mrs. Harriet Newell Walton Wing, aged
seventy-two years, five months and seven
days. She was the oldest daughter of the
late General f. p and Prussia Walton of
Montpelier. Educated in the home schools
and at the seminaries OF Mrs. Willard at
Middlebury, Vt, and Troy, n. Y, she was
early and well fitted for the duties of life and
married the Hon. Halsey Il. Wing of Glens
Falls, n. Y, where her life had been
mainly spent. Five sons and one daughter
were the fruits of this marriage, of whom
three sons and the daughter remain, two of
the sons having been given to the country
in the war of the rebellion. In youth Mrs.
Wing became member of Bethany church
here, and her life had been an earnest, con-
sistent and influential Christian life, re-
sembling in many points that of her sainted
mother. Blessed for many years with
abundant means, her home had been made
pleasant with Christian hospitality, and the
hearts of many have been gladdened by her
benevolence. The churches and the society
in which she moved have met with a
great loss, but all who have known her sor-
will be comforted with the assurance that
their loss is to her great gain. W.

to all who make use of these stepping
stones" Edward Francis Murray eulogized
the great Irish statesman, Daniel o Connell,
and told of his relation to England in a
manner extremely flattering to Daniel and
generally creditable to the young man, who,
however, labored under the disadvantage Of
not having fairly committed his Grafton to
memory. Two pleasing choruses were sung
by the school, and then Miss Helen Lee
Burpee gave her solution of the greatest of
problems, The Problem of Life" She
spoke of the divine origin of human exist
ence, and more at length upon the great
questions which suggest themselves to so
many and demand the consideration of all:
" Whittier are we going?" "Why are we
here?' "What is the practical problem of
life?" and What are we doing?" Her
essay was thoughtful, her theories sound,
and through all was seen an appreciation of
the fact that the life which we live in the
flesh is but the preparation for grander
life hereafter. Miss Mabel Eastman Mead
was excused and the next essayist was Miss
Hattie Elizabeth Sargent. She told in an
entertaining and thoroughly instructive
manner, of two-days visit in Athens. The
customs attractions and wonders of that
famous city were graphically portrayed and
due prominence was given in the progress
of the story to that great wonder of the
world, the Acropolis. Another chorus pre-
ceded the last Grafton and valedictory, both
given by Burton Albert CunmlnS, VINO TOOK
sides with that interesting character in En-
glish history, Mary Stuart and defended
her ably against imaginary renewed attacks
by her former enemies and the various
historians who incline to favor her envious
contemporaries. Her trial and conviction
were brought anew to the minds of those
present. The valedictory was refreshingly
plain and simple, and while it followed the
prescribed mode of address was free from
all attempt to mount the giddy heights OF
eloquence The audience and the grad
uating class were briefly addressed by
Esquire Heath, who accompanied the latter
proceeding by the presentation of diplomas
to the graduates. A parting hymn" witt
words by Miss Sargent and music by Miss
Mead, was sung by the class and the exer
cises were closed with benediction.

Windsor County Court.


The Windsor county court adjourned
without day last Friday. Like the Massa-
chusetts general court, says Woodstock
correspondent, it took it a long time to do
little. The new entries of the late term
We're the least in numbers and importance
for over sixty years. There were only forty
seven new entries in all-of these, thirty
one on civil causes eleven divorce cases and
five criminal cases. AT the late term four
teen divorce cases were heard and divorces
granted in them all. There were six trials
by jury and verdcts in them all. In quite
number of cases the parties had the good
sense to settle their differences, and so saved
themselves much veXation and costs. Va
rious opinions exist as TO what has occa-
stoned the falling off in law business in the
last fifteen years. Among other things that
have contributed to this are the passage by
the legislature of the insolvency statute
the bill whereby cases are referred to a
referee for trial; the stringent laws on tenn
perance, which have doubtless had a
salutary influence in bringing about fire.

THE TRIBUNE's position on this important
question should be correctly stated. We con-
denim the President for favoring foreign cor
poraton and admitting it without restrictions
TO share in the internal commerce Of the
country when Congress has recently abrogatcd
Article xxx OF the Treaty Of Washington and
passed the Interstate Commerce Act. We
condemn him for giving away important PRIV
iieges to foreign subsidized monopoly when
Congress has cancelled the treaty provisions
admitting Canada to participation in the bcne-
fit of the coasting trade. We condemn him,
moreover, for allowing this foreign competitor
to have the long haul of American freight

OF course, it is easy to raise the cry that the

TIE COTARDLY ANARCHIST.

Quite irrespective of its bearing upon the
issues Of the trial, the spectacle John Most pre-
scented on the witncss-stand and the testimony
he gave were instructive. The man who has
prided himself upon his reputation as the most
fiery and untamabie of Anarchists recited be-
fore the Jury h. .crsion of the speech ON which
his Indictment was based. 1t was harmless
and devoid of the thrcatcnings and slaughtcrs
which the leaders OF his class have frequently
brcathcd out against the rest Of mankind. Be-
yond a question, no man could properly or
Justly be convicted of a crime for the utterance
of the words he attributed to himself on that
occasion.
But conceding NIost's testimony to be strictly
true. the inference TO be drawn from it is not
one that he or his followers can relish. IL
shows concusivcly that the present attitude Of
law and government, both in Illinois and New
York, toward those who would justify murder
as method of political controversy, is sns-
tanned by the results. When Most was for
mcrly indicted and convicted in this city of a
similar offence, ho blatantly and boaSfully
admitted the use of the language imputed to
him. When he made his speech on the twelfth
Of November last, he had in his memory, as he
admitted on the stand OH Tuesday. the punish
ment which he underwent for his former
offence He had also before his mind the
pregnant fact that one of the strong pieces OF
testimony against those Anarchists who had
been hanged The day before was the publication
and Endorsement by them Of his own language
regarding the destruction Of life and property
by means Of dynamite bombs. With these
L al vic bn hp
made the vapid and commonplace speech with
which he endeavorcd to entertain the jury
Here plainly are cause and effect Except
for these unpleasant events this voIubc ranter
would still have been striving to rouse his
miserable dupcs by such violent and sanguinary
language as inspired the Chicago 1iaymarkel
murder. The righteous punishment inflicted
for that crime is proving its own justification
in preventing tho repetition Of similar crimes
in New-York Most and the rest of his kind
arc essentially towards. He did not even dare
to father his own writings on the stand. When
quotations from his publications were read nc
refused to admit the authorship, on the ground
that it would or might criminate him. Held
within such lines as he now recognizes to bind
him, this fellow is incapable Of further harm
But any relaxation in police vigilance would
encourage the return of the old spirit. No one
understands better than John Most that those
whom he addresses care nothing for philosoph-
ical discussions on new theories Of government.
and that his strength and prominence among
them have only been attained through the loud
ness with which he advocated the use of vio-
Ienco to attain political results. The holding
him to a strict responsibility for a violation Of
the law is the only method to make him and
his fellows respect and obey the law. The
lessons already taught are beginning to BIO
well learned.
